Namco Bandai has just announced that their Playstation 2 RPG Tales of the Abyss will be making its way to Nintendo's new 3DS system in Japan. They've also stated that the game will be an updated port in full 3D glory.

We've seen speculation and rumors in the past about the game coming to various platforms, but it seems the company is finally ready to commit to this trek to the 3DS and given the system's high anticipation level, it would seem like a great fit.

No word on a North American or European release, but given how new the system will be next year and how most publishers will likely be scrambling to get their titles released for the system, the timing for this one might prove to be key to the game possibly seeing a release outside of Japan.
